In this pattern, you will have the explanation with photos and
written instructions to create a knitted mushroom hat. The
finishing touches requires french knot or duplicate stitch with a
tapestry needle, also simple yarn threading to create the bottom
details (gills).
This pattern doesn’t include the frog pattern. If you would like to
purchase the frog pattern, please visit the shop of Claire Garland
@DotpebblesKnits ( the author of the frog pattern and many
more!)
Finished product measures: Approx 5.5cm diameter. This hat sits
on top of the frog or any small toy animal with a help of a hairpin
or a piece of wire. The same mushroom hat can also be used as a
cushion!
